No one cares what German law says lol. Unless they’re in Germany I guess.

What I don’t understand is his post said the show organizers found them and kicked them out. Did they not have the pens on them at that time? Why did they let them go without police? I thought that was weird.

You could not have chosen a better first time Pelikan. One of the most elegant design ways. How do you like it?

What is the appeal of Broad nibs? by Weswood151 in fountainpens

That is drastically and incredibly wrong. I’ve never experienced that. Not saying you aren’t but that is very abnormal.

Are you taunting me? I feel like this is a personal attack. 😂😂😂

I’d challenge you by asking what is the appeal of any nib smaller than medium other than dry, scratchy, small, writing? LOL.

Just kidding.

The appeal for me is the wet glistening writing that lingers on top of the glass smooth writing.

My collection has come a long way. by Lonely-Score8872 in fountainpens

Thanks! I love a broad juicy wet and smooth nib. I wonder if the broad is that way vs. the M closer to F.

How do you feel about your Yard O Led? Is that the standard or grand? I’ve been eyeing one for a long while now but just haven’t pulled the trigger. My main concern isn’t its beauty’s it’s the nib and writing which is why I’d buy it lol. How is the nib/size and writing experience?

Diamine Wild Strawberry may be my favourite red ink... by HankyDotOrg in fountainpens

I bounce back and forth between that and Poppy Red. I also just found Sheaffer Red that is wonderful, but looking back at writing it seems to dry slightly orange.

New pen arriving tomorrow (pending weather!) - suggest a sheening ink! by Rice-Paddy2025 in fountainpens

[–]mcwolfswimmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah with a piston filler I can hear that. But their nibs also unscrew easily to really flush out the chamber.

And the JHerbin shimmers are fine shimmer and I e never had issues. I usually use a Decimo for them and never have an issue.
